Hours after a citizen belonging to Bangladesh’s minority religious population was lynched to death by an angry mob on Wednesday (December 24, 2025), the interim government in Dhaka said that the matter was “unfortunate” but added that it was “not at all a communally motivated incident”.
In a press release, the interim administration “strongly condemned” the killing but said that a “particular segment” was trying to project the incident as a “communal attack”.
